Same problem here, got home with my Black Ops 2 PC from Gaystop and my 2nd disk is Mass Effect 2, how the hell can this happen!? Luckily I was able to cancel then download the rest through Steam but I want this replaced and any retail store you buy from won't replace an open PC game disk, besides you probably have a high chance of getting another one same way as you couldn't tell by looking at it in store. Hopefully they fix this by either replacing the 2nd disk and/or giving us some free DLC I could live with that

I bought mine at GameStop in Grand Prairie, Texas. Apparently the zip file on the 'Mass Effect 2' cd is corrupt, BTW.

It is, because I just did it. Just get to the "disk 2" message, cancel it, and then go to Steam and "resume" the download. Easy Peasy.

Won't work, once you hit cancel, it deletes the entire install and greys out the game in the menu. Tried it twice last night.

The only i can see it working is if you leave the disk 2 message up there, then bring up the downloads que. Use the spacebar to hit ok, then quickly hit resume for whichever part you're trying to do. I didn't want wait 3 hours for it download, but it was working before i quit it.

If you got it retail, just bring it back to the store, they'll give you a new copy if you have the receipt, but i'd have proof of what's on disk 2 though also, like a screen cap or something.

Thanks for the information. We'll go ahead and forward it along.

Did you also experience the issue? Can you tell us what the store number is in Va and a city if you can? It would help us out greatly with the investigation.

To those who are asking why it happened, I can't give you details on them as it is being investigated and can't say if those details will be made public. The main concern is to help out the people who are having an issue and making sure they're on the right track to play the game that they paid for. ^MM

yep, I got this too. The store number is 2511, in Newport news, VA. I just hope this second copy is the right one.

Let us know if this also happens with the second copy. If it does, let me know here and i'll send it over to my superiors to get you the right disk. Thanks for the info too. All this is very much appreciated.
